Death Paid, Resurrection Proved
Commentators explain this verse as a summary of the entire gospel. Christ's death was the payment for our sins ('delivered for our trespasses'). His resurrection was the proof that the payment was accepted by God, securing our acquittal ('raised for our justification'). As one scholar memorably put it, His death paid our debt, and His resurrection is the receipt.
